Now more than ever, homeless individuals and families need YOU! Join us for the Virtual Walk for STH on June 13th.During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals and families are being tested as never before. Under normal circumstances, Sojourner Truth House serves thousands each month. The needs will only increase. There has never been a more important time for all of us to step up if we are able.

Turn Your Steps Into Dollars We have transformed our STH Walk into a virtual event that anyone, anywhere can participate in. Walk on your treadmill. Walk up your stairs. Walk in your neighborhood (at a social distance, of course). Walk wherever is safe to do so because we are #SojournerStrong and #WalkForSTH.

About the Walk 2020 marks the 21st year of the Walk for Sojourner Truth House. Proceeds support the mission of Sojourner Truth House to provide hope and help for homeless and at-risk women and their children and under-served citizens of Gary and Northwest Indiana.

Why Walk? Why Donate? When our homeless neighbors come to Sojourner Truth House (STH), most are ashamed of their circumstances. They wonder how the basics of life have escaped them, as they try to cope with their situation. Often, they have their children with them and they wonder how they can make life normal for their family again. STH co-workers and volunteers greet them with a welcoming smile and a promise to always treat them with honor and respect. We understand that they have real barriers and work with them to find the path back to independence and wholeness. With personalized case management and individualized goal setting, we are able to determine the needs of clients and provide them with the tools to begin the process of overcoming homelessness and rebuilding their lives. We are able to do these things with generous support from people like you.

Sign up to walk or participate virtually! Invite friends, family and neighbors to join you in making a difference in your community! Forming a team is fun and makes it easier to raise funds! Set a goal and create your own personal fundraising page! Every individual walker raising $100 or more will receive an official 2020 Walk for STH T-shirt!

Please Note: There is no fee to register, but each walker is asked to raise at least $100. Ask family, friends, co-workers and businesses to support you!
